UCKG Business Networking Meeting
Welcome to the business networking meeting.
This is the first edition of the business newsletter designed to support start-ups and ongoing businesses. For those present at the last meeting in June you will recall we agreed to prepare a periodic newsletter to send out information to members concerning business news, oncoming events, business tips etc. If you recall in our last meeting, we also decided on a business directory for businesses to showcase their work and use this as a tool to advertise your business.
We welcome your comments on the format and the content of the newsletter and hope to use this to improve future publication.
What we decided last in month’s meeting:
• To keep the date of our meeting as the last Tuesday of every month.
• Agreed to give a business 10 -15min slot to share their experience
• Release a newsletter
• prepare a Business directory
